What year is your truck? In all reality, the 2nd Gens idle at around 650 or so. I suspect that you have a gummed up throttle body, that doesn't allow the IAC to open/close properly, so, first thing to do is start there. Pull it, clean it REALLY well, reinstall it. (disconnect battery while you are working on it)

That should straighten it out.

Wonder on down to the second gen ram section for LOTS more info. (provided your truck is somewhere between 94, and 2001)

Need to know what year your truck is so we can point you in the right direction. Welcome to the forum.
